Any system which reduces the power of the individual ends up in dictatorship, monarchy, extreme authoritarian religious rulers or communisms which have been the proven failed systems for the human societies.(Pleas ignore the English stay focus on the content)
As we evolve we have to assume our responsibilities at higher level but some how we assume our ancestral knowledge never needs changes. In reality if you look around the whole world has been changing constantly right before our eyes.
In a mortal life, you just can’t pick one or the other, I believe as an individual we have to zigzag between our nature and intellect, because living naturally is actually intellectual.
Sorry I forgot about the author’s name.

” Quote”
“We are interdependent in our society and if you can lighten the load by bringing many hands and shoulders and backs to the task, you can be successful.” End quote.
Each and everyone of us brings five bucks to share the success for both society as well as the individual. I call it the core process of evolution which benefits both as well.
This fiver is the most fundamental and at the same time most underestimated in value by both society and the individual him/herself, and it has happened because of the same politics, which has the power to flip our triangles.
On discovery channel I heard that “spruce trees don’t really have deep root system, but they can withstand big storms and harsh weather”. The reason is and it makes sense that their roots entangle together to help each other.
This natural phenomenon is present in human beings as well. As individuals we feel and think about ourselves as weak and vulnerable, yet we are integral part of the real strength of humanity.
It breaks my heart when I see news of refugees fleeing the war torn zones just to be drowned or die in the trucks during the journey to escape the problems created by the politics of sense of belonging and religious extreme. These raiser wires to walls of security are related to small thinking. Compassion, sacrifice, forgiveness and love are the jewels of humanity. United nation should stop all the conflicts in the beginning so the problems can’t reach that far to create these kind of crisis, better yet ordinary individual should get free education all over the world so we can make the individual a CEO who can’t be herded as a sheep.
If you look at the foundation of the empires and the recruitment philosophy for all religions closely you will see the need of that fiver which each individual holds. The communities are not made of some buildings, roads, bridges or houses they are made of the people. You can still see some ghost towns on the face of the earth because people have moved on.
Melting pot societies are today’s reality so people have to overcome their prejudice to learn to live together, every country’s political system should have human rights on top of their political agendas.
Higher population means more hands, shoulders, backs and fivers thus more fruit to the barren lands. Everyone has the rights to live in and raise their children in peace without being a second class citizen.
When it comes to the security for the migrant it should come with the responsibilities of securing the host as well. The best way to secure both is the education of sense of belonging to the humanity not to a political group weather it be a nation or a religion.
Our reliance on the community and community’s reliance on the individual may become confusing for the individual, if he/she has been given the education of weakness and inferiority.
The person who lives in the body of the human being, the holder of the fiver is equal regardless of the size, gender, color, nation or religion, its how one feels matters the most and mostly it is the education what makes them feel weaker or inferior thus education system should change.
The fabric of community depends on the strength of the single thread and that thread is the individual. Community may have an agenda to keep the individuals weak so they can be controlled, but if everybody is dependent on the community then how the community is going to get its strength?
It’s essential for the community to make the individual stronger for the strength of community so it does not die off with the individual. If it is in every individual that means help is coming from the core source.
Any system which reduces the power of the individual ends up in dictatorship, monarchy, extreme authoritarian religious rulers or communism. Interestingly they have been the proven failed systems for ruling the human societies.
Any governing system which doesn’t comply with the human nature, eventually will fail. We have a natural desire to be free as an individual yet we have the deep social need to be with the community, this extremely opposing nature needs the balancing action by the individual him/ herself, not forced by the community.
Old style of our governing and parenting has been using that force to create patriotic societies. The politics of these societies have brought us where we are today. We try to dominate each other individually as well as nations and even religions. It is time to severed the cord and step into the next level of evolution, which I call it, belong to the humanity first instead.
From the social or family chaos to our wars, they all are closely related to the top down methods of discipline used by our patriotic systems. Today that control is in question so the modern day societies are flooded with the unresolved issues of human rights.
If the individual can self- disciplines him/ herself the community does not have to force its agendas. There would be a lot less burden on the social and justice systems, if the individual assumes his/her CEO duties.
It all depends on the education; we need to encourage the individual’s deeply ingrained and ripened spiritualty so he/she can automatically function as a CEO “independent yet altruistic”.
Let’s look at it from a different angle the modern science has been discovering things from inside out.
“The Economist” (Aug 18th 2012 issue of the magazine has a front page story. `Microbes maketh man“
Sorry again I forgot to write down the name of the author. Now I really feel bad. Anyway and I “Quote”
“The traditional view is that a human body is a collection of 10 trillion cells which are themselves the product of 23,000genes. If the revolutionaries are correct, these numbers radially underestimate the truth. For in the nooks and crannies of every human being and especially in his or her guts, dwells the micro biome: 100 trillion bacteria of several hundred species bearing 3m non- human genes.
The biological Robespierre’s believe these should count, too; that humans are not single organisms, but super organisms made up of lots of smaller organisms working together.
It might sound perverse to claim bacterial cells and genes as part of the body, but the revolutionary case is a good one. For the bugs are neither parasites nor passengers. They are, rather, fully paid-up members of a community of which the human“ host“ is but a single (if dominating) member“ (end Quote).
This reinforces my view of the God as a human society or humanity and human as the cells and other creatures as part of the whole picture.
The vegetarians may not like this but this is the law of the nature, that nature provides food for every creature for survival. If we start to feed lions grass we would have a strange unknown consequences. So nature has its intellect, if the lions or meat eaters would not eat the grass eaters the balance of nature would tilt and the land would become barren the floods, land slides and God knows what else can go wrong.
We may live intellectually and make sense about the things with our compassionate feelings, but facts of hunger, survival, reproduction and balance remain to carry on the life of specie and literally God.
We still can be, have been and will be savage beasts at times, but regardless we have been progressively marching towards our potential. One can say God would not let the bamby a nice baby deer an innocent creature to die for food, but if it provides for the little kittens it is God’s way of serving and providing himself as life for life and that is if you believe God lives through every living thing. So are we there yet? Are we there yet?
It may not make any sense to the passionate feeler but always remember we are a work in progress we may learn more of life’s wisdoms as we evolve. That does not guarantee that the human beings would become vegetarians or should be vegetarians, I am just stating about the evolution and during the evolution we have been going back and forth with our rights and wrongs and correcting our corrections.
From the drugs to the technology, social systems to the religions, if we always come up with better and more effective ways to deal with our problems, that mean there is still room to improve. So we can’t be passionate about human knowledge even if it relates with our feelings and emotions.
Scientifically proven things can be upgraded, so do the religious rules can be bent or changed as the society changes and time demands.
When it comes to human evolution towards potential there are no hold bards so there is nothing written solid, yes not even the Ten Commandments.
Everything is subjected to change, so where are we going?
Well as you can see the progress, we are on the mile ten, maybe twenty or it may not even be measured with our present capacity of understanding of the brain power usage. Everyday we are marching ahead from genetic code break down to space station to self driven vehicles to internet and everything in between or in the Google.
If we have changed so much in last twenty years, what is held by the future for us is definitely a lot more than what we have right now, so out of the hundred we still are in the beginning. Only time can tell, we just have to exist and survive our progress and technologies.
